Season › 2013-14 › News Koné on board as Martinez's first signing Lyndon Lloyd , 8 July, 0comments | Jump to most recent Ivorian signs in a reported £5m deal Everton have completed the signing of striker Arouna Koné from Wigan Athletic for an "undisclosed fee", believed to be around £5m, although The Guardian peg the deal as high as £6.5m. The 29-year-old completed a medical on Friday and has put pen to paper on a 3-year contract at Goodison Park after agreeing personal terms. The transfer reunites the Ivory Coast international with Roberto Martinez, the man who last year brought him to the Premier League from Levante, after they finished 6th in La Liga, thanks in part to 15 goals from the Ivorian. Koné hit the net 11 times in the Premier League and twice in the cup for the Latics last season but his goals couldn't prevent Wigan from slipping out of the top flight and back into the Championship. The ex-Sevilla man is the first signing under Martinez's tenure at Everton and he is expected to be followed swiftly by defender Antolin Alcaraz on a free transfer. Speculation has it that the acquisition of the Paraguayan could be announced later this week. And Martinez is believed to be in talks with goalkeeper Joel Robles about a loan switch to Everton. Kone, who admitted on Twitter that he won't be wearing the number 2 shirt next season, won't link up with the Blues squad until the end of July. He has been granted extra time off following international duty with the Ivory Coast. Quotes or other material sourced from EvertonFC.com Kone hungry for goals About these ads © ToffeeWeb
